Great product

This product is the best. I have bought several boosters for my internet with no improvement. With these I have no lagging or dead areas in the house. The concept of using the electric and ethernet is great. I am thinking of ordering more.

Cable modem speeds from a power outlet

Works as advertised. Easy setup (under 5 mins, including pressing a button and going to each room each plug was in). Blazing fast speeds, as if I was directly connected to the cable modem.

It Works

After following all the directions including all devices being in the same room, I got the green light. Then I was able to plug into wall socket for each room and was able to get the signal. Now I can get online without a second thought because the signals are stronger. I am so glad I didn’t have to get old school wire job from room to room.

Works but lacks desired bandwidth.

It does actually work, at least on the same circuit. I can get a consistent and faster ping than with wifi, but these limit the bandwidth to almost 1/4th of what wifi gives. So if you want something more than ~25 Mbps, go with a newer model with better bandwidth.

Working great. They even survived a recent blackout with 3 back to back power surges when the power came back on.

Slows my speed by about 20x

I bought this because my router is not close to my PC so I figured these would work well. I have 180 download and when I went to do a speed test I was getting around 7-10 down. My ping was normal but the speed was abysmal. I was gaming online with no ping issues but even a 1 gb game update was slow. Im going to do more testing because my PC is a the basement that was built from scratch, we didn't move in with the basement finished which is why I think the speed is so slow.

Works Great. Should have bought the gig port though

Works as expected but looking back I should have got the ones with the Gig ethernet ports.

Purely theoretical

It works beautifully. My reason for getting this was because the WiFi adapter on my motherboard kept causing me to disconnect and having a wired connection meant sending a 10 meter Ethernet cord across my house from my router to my computer. Unfortunately, I am getting the same speed using this adapter as my wireless connection (the only benefit being that I don’t disconnect) even though my WiFi plan theoretically gives me 200mbps. I found out after buying this that the “noise” in my home’s circuits causing me to lose some of the speed. Nonetheless, it works great and I’m glad I got it, but I just wish I was getting all the speed I was promised.
